Club career
Gaspar began his career with the same club as his father, Corinthians, joining at under-7 level, and initially representing the club in futsal.[1][2] He progressed through the academy, notably scoring in a friendly match against adults organised by Emerson Sheik in 2017, at the age of thirteen.[3] He signed a training contract with the club the following year.[4]
In July 2019 Gaspar joined the academy of English Premier League side Arsenal, after his father's appointment as club technical director.[1][5] Following three years with the club, Gaspar departed Arsenal by mutual consent.[6] He joined fellow English side Watford in July 2022.[7] At the end of the 2022–23 season, Watford exercised their one-year option on Gaspar, keeping him with the club until 2024.[8]
